Quote:I am going to say he hasn't proven he *isn't* the guy and since we're relatively early into such a major rebuild the jury should remain out. With that said, yeah I think he is the guy but I wish he'd done what TC did in the early days and hired experienced NFL coaches in the coordinator spots.

 

In response to the bolded...  It's not too late for Bradley to revamp his coordinators and his staff.  I think it will be the key to his success.  

 

I tend to agree with the posters who have concerns about an inexperienced coaching staff leading an inexperienced team.  I'm holding out hope the Bradley get's smart and starts bringing in guys that have some NFL experience and are great schemers and game planners.  That can leave Bradley to be more of the CEO.

 

 

Quote:I have to say I am a fan - another season and draft and I think we become competitive.. I feel like he is a player's coach but still has the team's respect.. halfway between Coughlin and JDR...

 

I'm very concerned that a players coach isn't gonna get the job done.  Especially a players coach that isn't very good at creating a game plan or philosophy other than, "Do your job" and "go run through a wall".

 

This is the 1970's anymore.  You need coaches that can out scheme you.  If that's not Bradley, he needs to get some people on board that can do that work for him.  Of course, those people will eventually get hired on as HCs somewhere else...  And then Bradley may well be right where he's at now.

 

I really hope Bradley is more than just a players coach.  Hopefully he really understands the game.  At this point, I have my doubts, but will wait till next year.  

 

He just really needs to revamp his coaching staff.
